Take a break | Personal

2012-03-01_030

Everyone needs a little break sometimes. I’m realizing how hard it is to stop working when you’re the one calling the shots and sick days seem to be a thing of the past. But I’m grateful for sweet friends and a loving husband who remind me to slow down. I loved getting to spend some downtime with one of my favorite families last weekend at their family’s beach house!

Family Picture Post | Nashville Family

It’s been a while since I’ve done a family-picture-post and I have quite a few families to blog about. Each of these families is SO sweet. Getting to spend time with and photograph a person’s family, newborn baby, or family reunion is an honor I don’t take lightly.  I love getting to see your love for each other.

Thanks so much!

Katie and Joel | First Christmas

untitled shoot-082-2-Edit

Katie and Joel are my dear friends who just got married in June. They always give me the go ahead to be creative and crazy, so I pulled them outside in the dark and in the rain/snow to get these festive pictures in a Christmas Tree lot. James came along and held my speedlight. He is secretly hiding behind Katie and Joel in half these pictures.

Time for some hot cocoa!

I call this picture on the right “ghosts of christmas present”- my flash was too close and totally ghosted them out. But I kinda like it!

Pre-Christmas Cheer | Family

I love this sweet family- they used to be our neighbors, but now they live in a super cute house across town. They broke out the Christmas decorations early to get some festive pictures. Their son Jasper and I have taken pictures before and he’s been featured on this parenting blog and now he’s starting an acting career! No one can resist his red curls! I had so much fun hanging with you three. I know your holidays will be filled with lots of cheer.

Jen, Andy & Nash | Family

Gah! I can’t stand how cute this family is. Not only are they great friends, but they have also been the best clients.  Only 6 months ago I was taking Nash’s newborn pictures. I can’t believe how much he has grown!
